JAMES LEE BURKE
Born in Houston, Texas, in 1936, James Lee Burke grew up on the Texas-Louisiana gulf coast, attended Southwestern Louisiana Institute and later received a BA in English and an MA from the University of Missouri. He has worked as a pipeliner, land surveyor, newspaper reporter, college English professor, social worker on Skid Row in Los Angeles, clerk for the Louisiana Employment Service, landman for Sinclair Oil Company and instructor in the U.S. Job Corps. Would-be authors could take a lesson in tenacity from this Edgar®-winning author: His novel The Lost Get-Back Boogie was rejected 111 times, but when it was finally published, it was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize! Burke and his wife, Pearl, have four children (their daughter, Alafair, is a prominent crime writer) and divide their time between homes in Montana and Louisiana.
